    Just trying to figure out: Which Volkswagen 17-inch wheels, with 225/45R17 tires, would work well with a Golf R?

    Dave, who is thinking of trading in his GTI for a Golf R but prefers 17-inch wheels

    We use 17" Goals on the Golf R all the time with no issues.

    Almost every winter wheel/tire package we build uses 17" Goals.

    Thanks for that info.

    Actually, I was asking about which VW-brand 17-inch wheels would work well with the Golf R not just because of winter wheels.

    If I trade in my GTI for a Golf R, I intend to run 17-inch all the time.

    So, are there any other of the 17-inch VW wheels you sell that would work just as well as the Goals on the R?

    Thanks!

    as far as I know all the 17" Golf/Jetta platform wheels will work, they are all 17x7.5 ET50. One is going to work any better than the other, it is just which wheel you like that matters.

    Great, very helpful.

    Although I'm curious specifically about the Onyx wheels, which don't have the same exact specs.

    They are 17-inch, but are 7-inch width and ET54.

    Will they work, even with the variant specs?

    using a wheel spacing calculator you will hame 2mm more clearance with a 17x7 ET54 than a 17x7.5 ET50.

    FYI I have a set of Bi color Onyx wheels we used as a display on our show room floor mount and balanced with tires already I would be willing to sell for under cost

    Thank you again.

    I'm new to this all, so please excuse what might seem like naive questions.

    This isn't about wheels, but it is about JC at Douglas VW.

    I ordered another type of part from him, it came damaged, and JC turned around and sent me the replacement part in a day -- no problems, no runaround.

    This is great customer service. I can't ask for more.

    Dave, who in all of life believes it's how people react to problems that says a lot about them

    P.S. I had already bought a winter tire/wheelset from Douglas VW -- shown in post #198 above -- and was delighted by that too.

    I picked up these babies from NY from Canada today and I am very pleased.

    The wheels are VERY well packaged for shipping. If you look at his pictures with the brown cardboard boxes, there are other layers of cardboard inside against the face of the wheels and also bubble wrap.

    I had some concerns about picking them up across the border in the event that a wheel was damaged in shipping (this happened once to me before with another retailer) and having to deal with the hassles cross-border. It was needless worry as they are well protected.

    JC, thank you.
